The Target Iteration synchronizes with the User History iteration.

Question

When I transfer user history from one iteration to another in TFS 2010, I have to manually update the iteration in each child task. Otherwise, it retains the previous iteration value, and various reports and filters do not give the expected result.

Can someone recommend a method or extension that will either automatically synchronize the iterations of the task with their iterations of the user’s history, or can’t do this for all user stories / tasks in the product upon request?

Answer 1

Try TFS Aggregator

Usage example

• Update the status of the error, PBI (or any parent) to “Running” when the child moves to “Running”
• Update the error status, PBI (or any parent) to Finish when all children go to Finish or Deleted
• Update "Work Remaining" on error, PBI, etc. with the sum of the entire task "It remains to work."
• Update Sprint's "Work Remaining" with the sum of all the remaining "Work" of your grandchildren (ie, PBI tasks and errors in Sprint).
• Summing up totals for one work item (i.e. Dev Estimate + Test Estimate = Total Estimate)

Answer 2

You can export all work items to Excel and bulk change them to a new value.
To do this, you need to save the request for the work unit and have all the WIs within the same Team project. This is usually activity that decreases during poker planning when a new iteration begins.

I found this presentation. A. Björk is very useful in how to do (among other things) such tasks.
